With the knowledge that Kefka was out there on his way to desecrate yet another town, and one she knew quite well, Celes wasn't in the mood to sit around and wait. That was the main reason she'd put up the call on the Sky Phone network. That and to hopefully get a little more support and help, but that hadn't gone over so well. Locke had gone off to stop Kefka, which she couldn't blame him for, but she really had wished he'd come with her

"I think there won't be many battles, but we can't be too careful," Cloud cut in, his sword in his hand as he walked at Tifa's side, his other hand curled around hers. It was like a safety mechanism these days. He was worried about Shelke, so he held Tifa's hand just to feel her there. She was the safest thing in the whole world to Cloud. Especially when things were low.

Looking around, Cloud frowned slightly. Wearing his sunglasses would've been downright stupid in the perpetual night of Treno and Midgar, which made him feel quite exposed. "She's near Reactor Zero, which means Deepground." Cloud hadn't explained all of this to Tifa yet.

"Deepground is an organisation that is literally underneath Midgar. I just... don't know where we get in. A friend of Tifa's and mine, Vincent Valentine, he was the one who dealt with Deepground." Which meant Vincent would know where Shelke was and how to get to her but that was just speculation. Vincent wasn't here and couldn't help, thus it was left to them to figure out how to save Shelke.

Carefully picking his way through the ruins, Red XIII walked beside them, his twitching tail the only outward sign of how worried he was. He'd lost it a bit, when Shelke had originally contacted them, but the red creature's usual composure was back. The overgrown city was strange, but at the same time, nature's presence in Midgar was comforting -- weird, but comforting. The flame on his tail flickered as they walked, casting shadows against crumbling walls and crawling vines. He was nervous, not about what they might face, but about what Shelke might have to face. They had become quite close in the aftermath of everything with Deepground and Chaos, and now she was here but in trouble. He didn't like it

"Shinra and their nasty secrets," Tifa muttered. "Whatever they've got down there, we'll take care of it."

She had her gloves on, at full alert as she walked towards Shinra HQ. It was always night in Midgar, but it seemed they would be going somewhere even darker.

"Anyone have a flashlight?" she asked. "If not... Red, can you guide us?"
